A woman who has already raised thousands of pounds for charity with two fancy-dress sponsored walks is at it again - this time dressed in Western gear.

Rebecca Mawson and her pals will be in full cowboy and Indian fancy dress for this year's sponsored walk in aid of Manorlands hospice in Oxenhope.

On a similar walk last year, the 26-year-old raised nearly £1,400 dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

Proceeds from the event went to Manorlands, where staff cared for her uncle, Eric Maud, who died of cancer.

In the first walk she organised in 2006, she donned a wedding dress and raised £1,257 for Cancer Research UK.

Rebecca, of Cornwall Road, Bingley, said: "We have had quite a few people join us in previous years and this year we want it to be bigger and better!"
